Default Thanks Dad

Today i met my dad and we went to Starbucks, I drove. Within 2 minutes of being in my RX... " you have a calliper sticking". My immediate response was how can you hear that. My dad's retort I've been working on cars for 45 years. Get to Starbucks the rear driver's rotor was too hot to touch.
I went to the dealership, my last brake service for lubricating the brakes was 13 months ago.
Thanks dad for saving me from an expensive bill a few months down the lines.
I though I would share this so people don't have the same issue I surely would have missed
